Numerical Techniques for High Incidence Reentry Aerodynamics.
Abstract
The overall objectives of this project are to investigate the limits of applicability of the present techniques and to extend those limits in order to cover the full range of incidence encountered by the reentry vehicles of the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) System. Research indicates that the aforementioned limit in angle of attack is created by the lack of proper modeling of the base flow, which develops strong communication with the windward side at high incidence, when the flow there becomes subsonic. Therefore, the effort to extend the limits of applicability of the numerical techniques should focus on better modeling of the base flow. To this effect, the activities during the first quarter consisted of numerical simulation of base flow.
